Fingers keep getting stuck under strings.

Howdy, I'm currently learning "Scarified" by Racer X, it's going well but it seems when ever I do the first little solo about 37 seconds into it my fingers end up getting stuck under the strings. It's quite fast and I started learning it a few months ago but had a large break, before the break i could play that part pretty accurately so it's bothering me quite alot.

Is there any tips on how to stop this. I'm trying to do a lighter touch but it still ends up happening. I've been practicing with a metronome for a few hours but it doesn't seem to be helping much.

Would the problem be my strings? Or is my technique just not right?

Thank you.
